Exactly the point when it comes to the sad ending for Jeremy Friehling, One year out of high school and a freshman in college, he was still only a kid and could not have been involved in the scheme in any manner. He just could not deal with the burden of being the son of one who did so much harm to others – but I suspect he had to be dealing with many other personal demons that were tormenting him thoughout his very short life span to have caused him to end his life.

I feel terrible for this young man and his family. His father’s greed seems to have brought on a generational curse.

esp when you consider how much government compliance was involved with this …

If they were never caught scum like Bernie,Mark Madoff, Jeremy Friehling and his father etc would have continued with this scam.

I feel no pity for the whole lot of them. And im surprised anyone would feel sorry for them. They knowingly ruined lives, killing himself was taking the easy way out. The Victimizer can not become a victim.

Ive noticed when i was younger whenever I did things that were considered bad and got away with it i felt relief/good getting away with it. But when i was caught for these offenses I felt shame and remorse.

If he killed himself it wasnt Bernies fault it was his own greed if you wanna put blame on anyone blame his dad for raising him that way to cheat, steal etc.

Letting Madoff rot the rest of his life behind bars, his freedom taken away, the bitter memories of a life-style he was accustomed to and no longer has, having the guilt on his hands for the eight lives he took away – including his own son – isn’t punishment enough but at least there is some satisfaction – how little empty it might be – in knowing that he is going to live like this till his dying day.
